'NCIS' exec promises DiNozzo flashbacks

A forthcoming episode of NCIS will reportedly focus on the past of Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly).

The installment will focus on the character's life before he became an NCIS agent, according to TVLine.

"The episode will reveal much about DiNozzo's past as a Baltimore cop," said executive producer Shane Brennan. "And yes, we'll hear the first words exchanged between DiNozzo and Gibbs (Mark Harmon). It's a memorable first meeting."

It was previously announced that series star Weatherly will direct an episode of the crime drama, expected to begin filming later this month.
